Rachel Maddow is a news anchorperson, pundit, political expert, doctor of political science and rhodes scholar. She is one of the smartest, most accurate and useful sources of news I have.
Rachel's public political career started as a radio host on Air America, on at least two shows, the latest of which, she still hosts, The Rachel Maddow Show. A couple of months ago, she got a TV show on MSNBC, also called The Rachel Maddow Show.

I've been getting a good portion of my news analysis from Rachel for at least three years now. First on Air America Radio, and now primarily on her show on MSNBC.

Rachel is not non-partisan, she is not without opinion, she does give equal time to both sides of an issue. She analyses the news, and comments on it with as much context as she feels is necessary to inform her listeners/viewers. In today's definition of things like "fair" and "balanced", this may sound like it puts her in the hyper-partisan bucket with the likes of Rush and BillO. It does not. What it does mean is that she doesn't put on some right-wing political hack to lie and dispute the honest opinion and facts presented by experts and "liberals".

In fact, given Rachel's left-lean, and her status as an out-of-the-closet lesbian, I've been shocked by the silence from the right-wing nutjobs regarding her promotion from radio to television. It almost gives me hope that even today's right-wingers do take a minute to look at something before condemning it, because Rachel is not just someone with an opinion and a powerful microphone:

Rachel Maddow is one of the most reasonable, practical and grounded commentators in the field today. The value of this cannot be overstated.
